Researchers at Wageningen University & Research (WUR), working in close collaboration with KeyGene, have developed a method ...

Plant cells are surrounded by an intricately structured protective coat called the cell wall. It’s built of cellulose microfibrils intertwined with polysaccharides like hemicellulose or pectin. We ...

A recent study has established a method to print viable plant cells using a 3D printer. Researchers at North Carolina State University (NC, USA) have developed a method to 3D print various types of ...

Diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1), the rate-limiting enzyme in triacylglycerol (TAG) biosynthesis, is a crucial ...

Researchers have devised the right conditions to grow vascularized stem cell islets. The image shows vasculature (red) tightly wrapped around insulin-producing cells (green) in the islets (blue).

Plants adapt their water consumption to environmental conditions by counting and calculating environmental stimuli with their guard cells. Plants control their water consumption via adjustable pores ...
